First of all, I love your thoughts on both these eps. I enjoyed them myself. The first one, I thought they did a good job with the subject matter. I didn't get the impression that all witches were evil (I have a friend who was thinking about getting into the show and was worried about this - not sure if she got to see it).
You bring up some good points about Ruby. I wasn't sure I totally believed what she was saying either. I've always thought she was really trying to push her own agenda and saying anything to the boys in order to do so. I actually don't want to believe her, as odd as it sounds. The twist that she'd been human at some point was pretty cool, I have to give it that.
I feel pretty much the same way about Sam. I really don't want him to go evil, but if it does end up that way I want him to see him redeem himself. I'm more comfortable with the idea of him emulating Dean.
As for Dream a Little Dream of Me.... that's kind of how I felt about it. I've been reading some discussions in different places, and you wouldn't believe how many people think Dean's character is now wrecked because of that scene. I was a bit wary of the outburst myself, but I agree it did make sense. But I know quite a few fans who think that Dean is just supposed to be this brave, stoic guy and he now appears wimpy. I really don't get it.
That Sam/Bela scene came out of nowhere for me too. I'm still scratching my head, wondering what purpose it serves. I've never seen any attraction to Bela on Sam's part either. I guess they stuck it in for a cheap laugh break amidst all the intense stuff, but it didn't make any sense to me.
Oh, and did you notice she stole the Colt? Would the boys really leave it in the hotel room like that?
The girl on the picnic blanket appeared in the second episode of this season ("The Kids Are Alright"). She does have some history with Dean, but I won't spoil you on that. Just wanted to let you know. :)
